Good Morning All! What are you all up to today?

[lucysmam]

I'm just drinking my first cuppa, in my kitchen spot. It's pretty much silent down here apart from the kitchen clock ticking, and fridge humming 😊. The kittens have been fed & gone off back to bed upstairs somewhere - boy cat doesn't like being alone & was wandering round shouting for girl cat, not long ago, so I guess he found her 🤣

I'm nipping into town today with dd2. She needs school shoes. We did order some online but have been sent some completely different ones that aren't suitable, so they need to go back <sigh>.

When we get in, I need to prep my lessons for the week, and organise my photocopying to do in the morning so I can actually teach the lessons!

Dd2 has a little bit of homework to finish, so I'll see if she wants to join me down here - probably not!

Dd1 was out out until 3am last night 😱 so I don't expect her to surface any time soon. I'll be surprised if she does more than eat, shower and doom scroll today!

We're having a roast this evening, followed by early showers all round. We're having some work done in the bathroom this week, so I'm saving my scrubby everything shower for when that's done and it's nicer to be in.

This evening will be chilled out, with my book & some sweets of some sort before a nice early night 💤💤 . It'd be lovely if I actually slept properly for once thanks menopause 🙄

What about all of you? 🙂

Morning,

Ds2 has a football match this morning. It's a home game which is good so OH is going with him so he can fit his run is as well 😆 Ds1 is still in bed after a late night lol

I need to do a quick workout this morning, put another coat of paint on bedroom radiator and do some more of my course.

Spaghetti Bolognaise for tea, showers all round and a chilled evening.

Hope everyone has a lovely day 🙂

Good morning @lucysmam & everyone. Unfortunately working later so I’m clock watching. In bed having had a cuppa & will shower/wash my hair after DH has used the bathroom. He won’t be too long as he doesn’t have a shave on Sundays. DD16 is excited as her new I Phone 16 arrives today. I might have leftover Indian takeaway for brunch. My curry was really good. Flippin’ expensive though, especially as we had it delivered. Having kievs, frozen jacket spuds & petitpois for tea. We’ll watch Call The Midwife. It’s not on next week because of The BAFTAs 😢

I’m on cuppa number 4 at least 😂 and I’ve folded FOUR baskets of laundry!

Finished off last nights poppadoms so already starting the day off with regret

Kids been doing colouring and boxing so far this morning

One child has a piano lesson later this morning

Naptime

All going swimming this afternoon

I need to:
• change beds
• exercise bike
• finish an essay

Just having my first brew before I crack on with the bathroom again. Need to remove the tiles before the fitter comes. I spent all day doing it yesterday, the walls are terribly damaged underneath so it's hard work! My arms are aching and my hands are all cut. It'll be worth it not the have a bathroom that floods everytime you take a bath though!

Good morning @lucysmam and all.
A quiet day here. I'm still drinking tea in bed at present. Dh and ds2 are off to rugby but I'm staying at home to do some planning for school.
We might get a walk in this afternoon and will probably watch the 6 nations.
Roast chicken for dinner and an early night.

I'm on my second coffee, once I've finished I'll be cracking on with the washing and cleaning.
DP has just got up nursing a hangover, he was out with friends last night so I'm not expecting to get much out of him today.
Older DD's are in bed and DD9 is eating cereal.
I need to do a food shop today and visit my dad then it'll be a Sunday roast and showers all round ready for school and work tomorrow

Morning
I am on my 3rd coffee. I had a terrible restless night with dh snoring. He doesn't usually but last night he drank red wine and had bought himself a piece of cheese from a farmer market so 🤷‍♀️

Kids football cancelled. I've just walked the dog. It's horrible and Grey mizzle here, not motivating weather at all. I'm going to go for a run. Then go into town. I need to bake cupcakes for Tuesday as well. And do a shopping order for tomorrow.

Weekends are so busy aren't they?!

@RabbitsRock I have a little bit of Friday's curry in the fridge - sounds like a good breakfast now you've said it!

@pearbottomjeans I've not got to folding yesterday's washing yet - I have just put one on though & will wash towels I think later on.

Im off today, but woke up super early, whats that all about???

Will hopefully get a nice walk today if it stays dry and maybe a bite of lunch somewhere.

Enjoy your day @lucysmam and all the gang here.

Morning everyone!

DD2 got me up at 7am. I put the washing that was done last night into the tumble dryer and have put a second load of washing on. So that will all need putting away later on but at least the laundry baskets are currently empty!

I've done my 20 minutes of meditation first thing this morning and have had tea and crumpets for breakfast. I'm not usually a breakfast person but I'm on medication at the moment that I can't take on an empty stomach.

I've been reading more of my book this morning and DDs have been playing on their tablets. They are now doing their homework. In an hour or so we're going to head into town to pick up a few bits that we need and will probably get some lunch when we're out and about.

Cottage pie for dinner tonight which I'm looking forward to and then showers/baths and getting ready for school and work tomorrow.

@lucysmam , im always amazed how early your teenagers get up, to be doing homeward at 9 on a Sunday morning is very unusable i think, you must have them well trained!

Morning all,

I'm laid in bed still on my phone, after a hectic week. I think this is the first day in 2 weeks where I've not had to set alarm. So of course, I was awake at 7.30 😔

My plans for today are to get stuff done and stay off the sofa, in a nice way that sets me up for the week.

I need to

• run
• food plan
• food shop
• laundry
• clean bathroom
• list on Vinted
• sort out my phone contract
• plan a holiday.

I'd best get up!!

Morning!

I’m on the sofa, munching granola and Greek yoghurt while DP gets DD ready for her Sunday club. When the coast is clear, I’ll have a bath.

Today will be very low-key - need to do lots of laundry, and sort out the coat chaos in the hall. We do have a coat cupboard, so will migrate things back there and hope they stay put for a while - DD had a habit of taking everything out of the cupboard so she could sit in it, but I’m hoping she’s grown out of this!

Not sure yet about lunch - maybe a big veg omelette and air fryer chips.

Snacky supper and then DP and I will watch some more Amandaland before bed.

Morning
Had a lie in just having a coffee then going to pop to Sainsburys for a few bits Dh is away for 2 weeks and Dd is going back to University in the morning so I don’t need to get much
Dd stayed at her boyfriend’s last night they both have work this afternoon
Drizzling here but going to take the dog out when I get back from the shop then have a bacon sandwich
Just put a wash on
Will hoover and mop the floors after the dog walk
Planning on having a lazy afternoon maybe watch something on Netflix and read my book
Will have a chicken salad with flatbread and hummus for tea and then get ready for work tomorrow
Enjoy your Sunday everyone

@ssd it's @GameOfJones dc doing their homework! Mine are still in bed. Definitely not that well trained 🤣

Oh, and I really need to write a letter to a friend, who wrote me a long, heartfelt one about a month ago, and I’m feeling bad about not having replied yet.

@LightCameraBitchSmile that's my favourite line on the whole album!

Good morning all

Naturally woke about 7am so put PE kits into washer and finished drying shirts, now PE kits in dryer and that is it for laundry today. Tidied kitchen, made coffee.

Teen1 assume still in bed.
Teen2 has settled in for an morning new Father Brown episode (he is my partner in gentle whodunnit crimes)
will make (homemade) marmalade on toast with more coffee/tea for next episode

Then teen2 off to ‘play’ poker for a friend’s birthday until later afternoon. Teen1 wants to gaze at new warhammer figures so will take him to local games shop.

Homework/revision usuall

Roast beef and all trimmings later. Ready for week ahead. Roll on half term need a week off routine.

Morning @lucysmam and all happy Sunday.
Been for a 10k run in the drizzle. Just out of the shower and chilling with a cup of tea. Another load of washing in the machine. I've got to catch up on some work notes later. Should have done them Friday evening but was too tired and I'm now regretting that. It will probably be a last minute thing while I'm watching TV later.
Need a few bits from the shops and will catch up with a friend later. Roast chicken for dinner then a lazy sofa evening.
Enjoy your day everyone.

Good morning everyone. I had a nice lie in this morning and got up just before 9am. I’ve fed the cats, put the heating on and stripped one of the beds and put the covers in the washer.

Theres just me up so far but I’ve got a busy day ahead. The house needs cleaning top to bottom, beds need changing, school and work clothes need to be ironed, I need to make a steak pie for tea, fill the car up as we’ve no petrol left, pick dd10 up from my sisters as she slept there last night and then supervise homework and pack school and work bags.

Tea is the aforementioned steak pie with mash, peas and gravy then I’ll have an everything shower and maybe finish the bottle of wine I opened last night (me and dd17 had a glass each whilst watching a film) then I’ll probably collapse onto the sofa and doom scroll before going to bed early-ish.

But for now I’ll make another cup of tea and wait for everyone else to wake up before I start cleaning as I don’t want to disturb their Sunday lie in.

I’ve just dropped DS at work and I’m drinking my second coffee in my favourite mug (which is my favourite because it’s huge 😂). The dog is licking himself and DH is still asleep as he was away all week with work then we were out Friday night and last night.

It’s a beautiful day so we’ll take the dog to the beach in a bit and DH is going to our village hall later to help tidy up from last night, I might get dragged along too 🙈.

I need to dye my hair as it’s looking very grey 😭 and go to Aldi.

Tonight, we having a Mexican night for dinner as we booked a holiday to Mexico this week! DS will cook as he does all of our cooking even though he’s only 15 because he loves it, I’m very spoilt!

Good morning @lucysmam and everyone. I have had my breakfast in bed, which was a delicious bacon sandwich with the bacon cooked just right! I am now supervising/helping the construction of the drawers for the malm chest we put together yesterday. Mr Dilemma has just had his 71st birthday and has spent most of yesterday complaining of his aches and pains from doing the work on the floor. My (internal) thought is 'well don't do it on the floor then!' but of course the sound that comes out is 'poor darling, do you need some paracetamol?' I'm only 64 but far more decrepit (and sensible) and my bum and knees do not go anywhere NEAR a floor!

I have no plans for the rest of the day apart from the usual laundry. Middle grandson needs picking up from the cathedral after evensong, but other than that there's nothing that HAS to be done.

Middle grandson has expressed a wish to learn how to knit, so I have unearthed my box of wool, knitting needles and crochet hooks so we can do it together. I confess I am somewhat apprehensive as I haven't done any knitting or crocheting for a very long time and I was never very good at it in the first place, so I think we're going to have to look at some YouTube videos and learn together. His mum (my daughter) is, regrettably, totally un-crafty so leaves all that kind of thing to me. I may have a bit of a practice later on. I only had big thick knitting needles or tiny thin ones. He is a fairly petit 11 year old - I think the big ones will be too big for him to handle, and the tiny ones will be too tricky for somebody with not much coordination or patience. I feel a trip to the charity shop coming on.....

Just thinking about going in the shower and then I've treated myself to a new quilt kit which I will cut out today ready for sewing

Lol, apologies then

Woke early and enjoyed a coffee in peace while everyone else was still in bed. Now at tennis with DD, DS is playing footy. Homework to do when back, then baking and cooking a roast. Might try to get some fresh air at some point as well. Have a lovely Sunday everyone!
